Productivity

We've recently seen a bunch of E Ink smartphones released for eye-friendly productivity on the go. But what if you don't want to give up your handset, yet would like an ePaper assistant on tap? That's where the Reetle SmartInk I comes in.

Catching up with the latest viral TikToks on your smartphone can be a strain on the eyes. E Ink alternatives are few and far between, and they can be pricey for what you get. Bigme has now launched more budget-friendly options.

Boox has launched an updated version of its 10.3-inch color e-note, adding "seamless connectivity" with a folio keyboard, upgrading the pen stylus and bumping up to Android 15. There's also a pocket-friendly color ePaper device with 5G connectivity.

Almost a decade after releasing its first ePaper tablet, reMarkable is adding a pocket-friendly edition "designed for work that happens anytime, anywhere, and with anyone." The Paper Pro Move sports a 7.3-inch color E Ink display and a 2-week battery.

The KeyGo is a portable keyboard with a fold-out touchscreen display that connects to your computer, phone, or tablet, and acts as a secondary screen to extend your workspace. It works with Mac, PC, Android, and iOS – just bring a USB-C cable.

Laptop users who need extra display real estate while out and about can now simply push a button or wave a hand. Lenovo's 2022 concept laptop was made real at CES earlier this year, and now the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is on sale.

Last year, e-reader multinational PocketBook partnered with China's Bigme to launch a color ePaper tablet called the Eo. Now the company has joined forces with Taiwan's Readmoo for another 10.3-inch E Ink slate called the Color Note.

Folks who work from home will probably be very familiar with a multi-display setup running from a single computer or laptop. Aura Displays has a solution for those who call a cafe or train their office, one which provides three additional screens.

Onyx Boox has launched a color ePaper version of its 13.3-inch Tab X productivity slate, which can be used with the new stylus input or optioned with a keyboard case for a laptop-like experience.

Back in 2023, tech startup Sightful developed a hardware/software system that put a huge virtual computer screen in front of your eyes. Now the company has dropped the hardware component and tweaked the software to work with AI laptops.

Tablet-sized e-notes are great for when you feel the need to jot or doodle but don't want to waste paper. Fujitsu has been in the E Ink slate game since 2019, but its Quaderno models have so far been monochrome only. That's changed with the A4 3rd Gen.

If you like to scribble thoughts on paper but are looking for something less wasteful and more modern, an e-note can be a great option. BOOX has just launched its 13.3-inch Note Max, an ePaper tablet featuring E Ink Carta 1300 for sharp visuals.
